PHIL THE ALIEN
(2005)The film, Phil the Alien, and the guy, Phil the Alien, are the creation of Rob Stefaniuk, a 33-year-old writer-director from Toronto who plays the eponymous extraterrestrial. The low-budget movie about an alien with a talking beaver best friend (voiced by Joe Flaherty) who unknowingly thwarts a gang of fur-coat-wearing American secret service agents living in a lair under Niagara Falls is one of the most absurd, joke-dense movies ever produced in this country (unofficially: no more than four minutes go by without a gag). It seems destined for cult status, soon to be acted out by the same people who do The Simpsons and Monty Python at the photocopier every Monday: Remember when Phil runs through the forest and Rush is playing and [alien shriek goes here? Phil the Alien was the surprise hit of the Toronto International Film Festival last fall; it came in as an independent feature from a relative unknown and left with a distribution deal from Lions Gate Films.
